Haha, well I think it's a valid concern!! I mean I would hope that Apple wouldn't do that to us, but honestly I wouldn't be too surprised.
A HUGE part of Lion is the OS doing the multitasking so we don't have to think about it. That's why apple took away the little light below the apps. There is no "open" or "close".
Although, I suppose another thing about Lion is that every state gets saved. So if a window or safari tab were to close, then hypothetically it would open back exactly how it was??
I would assume that any open windows stay open (and no safari refreshing!) but can any of you Lioners out there confirm this?
You're comparing an orange to an apple, actually more like a tiny grape to an apple.
They are both based on the same OS X core but the code is much more optimized and slimmer on the iPad with much tighter hardware restrictions.
If the iPad devices are as powerful as our computers, we would not be experiencing any issues in Safari. You're talking about just 256MB of RAM in the first-gen iPad and 512MB in second-gen iPad which are able to handle the sites in Safari much better than it does in the first-gen iPad. Add 2GB-4GB to the iPad, Mobile Safari would be able to handle 20 sites without any refreshing required.
Secondly, Apple didn't take open/close lights away, it is now an optional setting in the Systems Preferences. The reason Apple did this is because they want to remove the idea of "open"/"closed" states. The software are starting to catch up to the hardware in terms of speed that we can leave applications and return to it in the same state. Apple wants to be able to introduce the concept of *resuming* apps, not *closed*. When you restart Lion with open apps, Lion will restart with the same open apps in the same state. This is the future on Mac OS X. No more closing required, especially with a fast SSD.
The hard drive/ssd in today's computers are much faster than the NANDs in the current iPad. Resuming an app is much faster than it would be on a modern computer. Look at how fast apps are resuming from the previous state in the iPad 2 and you can see how much the hardware difference is affecting the performance.
Also, the multitasking isn't a huge part of the OS, it's actually tiny. If you remove Cocoa, all the apps/framework and the GUI, the OS is probably less than 512MB (based on the open source darwin's binary iso size).
The other thing that you need to consider is the memory swap. Mac OS X have swap, iOS doesn't. Even if you run out of free memory on the Macs, you'll begin to switch to the harddrive/ssd to use as virtual memory.

The iMac will be better in the long run. You get an incredibly nice screen, a nice keyboard, a mouse that should be thrown in the trash as soon as you receive your package, and much better hardware than you would from the Mac Mini.

Nice find. Looks MIB from your pix. Care to share how much it was?
It is! very clean, no cracks. Boxes are in great condition also, I collected them from the seller to save any further damage from the couriers!
Cost was �200 GBP, so about $316, may seem expensive in the US but I think it was a good deal considering its overall condition.

Well, I expect that it will be out within the next 2 months. If it isn't then I will be pissed along w/ everyone else. Im not planning on getting one, but as of now I am mad at apple. That is the very reason that I am about to buy a PC. They are faster and cheaper. So what if it has a worse operating system. I will deal with that. I just can't afford to buy a computer that I can't afford and that is slow in the 1st place.:(

Is there any way to restore individual apps from iTunes, without completely restoring from a backup? I have lots of save data in a backup of my iPhone, but I don't want to completely restore the device. I am jailbroken if that's required, but an iTunes-direct method would be best. Ideas?

No idea, sorry. But perhaps you could try Craigslist "Missed Connections", it seems to be made for this kind of quest. Apologies if you have tried it already.

How many Intel Macs in public release? None.
How many PPC Macs installed across the globe. Millions.
Do you honestly think that software suppliers are going to ignore that market?
By the time PPC software is obsolete, your new G5 will be too.
Agreed...
All in all, there will always be updates, upgrades and changes to come.
The best time to switch? Always "now"
Which system to buy? You can always check the Buyer's Guide (http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/) for help in answering those questions as far as upgrades and cycles.

I think I just decided not to go the the ATT store at 5:00am and just go to work like I always do and get my wife to head down there at around 11:00am or later. Not really worried about getting the darn thing anymore. Too much hype now im burnt out.

I'd like to think my stripes worked pretty well....
maybe I'd be better off striping the logo, not just the background :D
Oh, and the colors look a little washed out - maybe do a color replacement and not just shift all the colors...

De authorise, then re-authorise your computer. It's worked for me quite a few times in the past.

What is concerning to me is that I wrote a comment, "nice affiliate link" in that thread. And my comment was deleted. not flagged or edited -- deleted.
I would imagine that your comment was deleted simply because it was off-topic for that thread and could easily have led to a derailment of the discussion. But I haven't looked at the case specifically (leaving right now, so don't have time), and yes, I can see how you might think we were trying to hide something when in actuality our moderators were just trying to keep the discussion on track.

How about if there was a quicklink to tell you which songs you have are bookmarked or recommended by other people. THat way I can see who likes the songs I like easier and look directly at their lists. Chances are folks who like my stuff will have songs I like also.

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new external hard drives for my movies so i thought i could give a try to Time machine on the old one.
I have some questions that i couldn't any answer so I thought you guys could maybe help.
I want to use Time Capsule to only to back up the songs I have on my computer.
I don't really want to back up everything, only the music folder and maybe another one.
Is there a way to do that? If so, can anybody tell me how?
Thank you

Hi
I looked around before I posted, but didn't find this question and answer. Apologies if it's been asked a hundred times before.
I leave my phone on vibrate almost always.
When I am talking on the phone, and get an email or text, the phone vibrates in my ear.
Is there a way to set the vibrate for email and text alerts to turn off whilst talking on the phone?
Thanks for any advice,
cinco
